  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.

  • Reliance Pip Ddca by 5 Wickets in 22 All India J.P. Atray
    RELIANCE PIP DDCA BY 5 WICKETS IN 22ND ALL INDIA J.P. ATRAY MEMORIAL CRICKET TOURNAMENT In the opening match played between Reliance(I) and DDCA at Sector 16 Cricket Stadium Chandigarh, Reliance (I) came out all guns blazing to tame spirited DDCA by 5 wickets. Winning the toss and opting to field, Reliance (I) opened the bowling with International star Jaspreet Bumrah and Rush Kalaria and the duo kept a nagging length and did not allow any liberties to the batsmen. Rush Kalaria struck the first blow when he had opener Rahul caught by wicket keeper Rishab Panth before the batsman could open his account and the team’s total reading 5 for 01. Thereafter Jaideep Chauhan (29) off 34 balls with 4 boundaries and one six and Himmant Singh (16) with 3 boundaries added 40 runs for the 2nd wicket. The stand was broken when Himmant Singh was run out by Yogesh Nagar, Yujuvender Chahal combine. DDCA kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and at one stage were looking down the barrel with 7 wickets down for 93 runs in 28.1 overs. Then Manan Sharma and Shivam Sharma put on 44 runs for the 8th wicket which fell at the total of 137 in 40.2 overs. Bumrah coming back for a second spell polished of the tail to return impressive figures of 10-2-29-2. Shivam Sharma was the highest run getter for DDCA scoring 58 off 65 balls inclusive of 5 boundaries and two sixes. Yujuvender Chahal also bowled a decent spell to capture two wickets for 44 runs.
